King Mondo transforms beloved children's mascot Puppetman into his newest monster. How can the Rangers take him on without risking the safety of the children?
Tropes
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Puppetman was a robotic kids show host reprogrammed by the Machine Empire, and was even rebuilt after the Rangers defeated him. His Ohranger counterpart Bara-Pinokiller was a Baranoia plan from the start.
- Brick Joke: During Pete and Puppetman's show, the Secret Word was "Power Rangers", with Puppetman throwing a barrel of water or confetti at anyone who said it, including a Cog. At the end of the episode, Stone's nephew tells him how the Power Rangers saved them from a monster attack. Bulk and Skull then ask him "By who?", to which he repeats "the Power Rangers", to which Puppetman throws a pie in his face.Puppetman: Well, he did say the secret word!
- Human Shield: To prevent the Rangers from attacking him, Puppetman has the children he hypnotized attack, giving him an opening to escape.
